Re: # 41

True... but the difference is - your Mullahs do not really have any control over the economy... but our commies still do have a control over our economy... and that is hurting us real bad... May be commies will wisen up someday - but india can`t really afford to waste any time, india can`t afford to wait until these dinosaurs to just die out...

According to some estimate- india needs to create some 10-12 million jobs a year for all the young folks that coming into the job market...

Re: # 30

Rural area will grow fast too, if commies allow the policies that are needed... rural area needs roads, electricity, crop insurance, cold storage, flexible agri market, fast access to market etc, etc... the money for this can easily be gathered from the privatization of numerous white elephant public sector companies... but commies don`t allow it - all in name of the poor - even though those companies actually employ the middle class who are already growing a 9%...

In fact, rural economy in some well-managed areas are already growing faster, as pointed out in that BBC article posted below... places in Gujrat are already growing at pace with the chinese growth...

See - the commie stupidity in india is way complex than you can ever imagine... these guys have been strangling the poor for decades all the while crying copious tears... and trumpeting the poverty... poverty had become their ``profession`` and they progressed in that profession very well...

Now that their strangle-hold has been broken, certainly in urban areas, they are coming up with all sorts of conspiracy theories... but of course, nobody listens to these losers anymore... Not even their own commie buddies... CM of bengal is trying hard to get TATA start factories in bengal...

Re: # 40

mohar mian,

we will happily trade you our dead-ender mullahs for your communists ...... sooner or later your idiotic communists will see the foolishness of their ideology, on the other hand, our mullahs will never give up their stupidity ......

`` India`s Communists fear that these rising parties may eat much deeper into the vote. With that in mind, rather than risking a move towards the liberal centrists, as left-wing parties have done in many European countries, the Indian Communists are clinging all the harder to what makes them distinctive¯their ideology. Expect the busts of Lenin to go on grinning malignly in the Communists` Delhi headquarters, no matter how liberally the party rules in West Bengal¯at least until the building gets sold to Wal-Mart. (economist)``

Re: # 37

People like Mitra are a bunch of commie dead-enders... these people should actually been prpsecuted for turning the country into destitution, but that would be too much to ask for...

But the least we could do is expose these losers and invalidate their stupidity... instead, we have ``intellectuals`` like MJ Akbar writing articles on Mitra`s rants as if commies are epitomes of truth and competency...

I guess, we just have to wait out these dead-enders... for some reason, these people don`t even die quick... that other commie jacka$$ Jyoti basu is still alive at 95 or something... :)

Just curious - did anybody accused Deng Xiaoping of China as an american agent, when he carried out the reforms in china?... after all, the chinese were the original commies and were in even worse shape economically when Mr Xiaoping started his reforms... India is a late traveller in this road and is following the same principles as done in china...

What do commies like Ashok Mitra and other assorted l0sers have to say about that?...

Re: # 36

India will have a good road network very quickly, only if commies like-minded people allow the road building and investments to go on.... after an initial fast pace of road building, the pace has slowed down to a crawl after congress and commies came to power...

SRK: ``The last 14 yrs have been really great for India compared to any other 14 years in independent India`s history.``

I could argue that the past 16 years have been better than at any point in India`s history. Including the days when India was rocking 20% of global trade. Disribution of wealth is far more egalitarian now than ever under the various rulers of India. India may have been rich..but indians were poor and without hope. each % point of GDP growth over 5% takes 10`s of milion out of poverty every year. Maybe Mitra should have thought about taking part in this boom rather than decrying it.

Re: # 28
B.Khan , I agree with you Kargul was not planned by USA but by Gen M. If he had full power clinton could not have dared to control him. Due to unnecessary and shameless retreat from victory and refrained from final boundary adjustment it was permanant loss as primeminister could not bring himself to tell his commander in chief to snatch and instead he forced withdrawal and loss of face and loss of victory. Army and freedom fighter just waited and waited but final order of toatal victory never came is tragedy. That is reason when he took over people went happy with joy. Unfortunately the situation economically became bad and just like reheated food does not taste good, one can not repeat original victory. tHIS IS ONE REASONARMY SHOULD COMMAND NOT USELESS pmS AS OPPORTUNITY KNOWS ONLY ONCE AND IF YOU DONOT ANSWER THEY KICK BUTS AFTERWARDS. PM NS was disgrace he snatched defeat in face of all out victory and final solution of K problem.

India warning on globalisation





Professor Stiglitz says globalisation has spurred India`s economy
A Nobel-prize winning US economist has warned that public services could suffer in countries like India as a result of globalisation.
Professor Joseph Stiglitz told the BBC News website that globalisation had led to lower tariffs, an important source of public revenue.

``A decline in tariff leads to less money for the governments to spend on its people,`` Professor Stiglitz said.

He won the Nobel Prize in 2001 for his work on the economics of information.

The 63-year-old economist`s book Globalization And Its Discontents is a scathing critique of how international financial and trade organisations are affecting economies and societies.

Professor Stiglitz said globalisation had played an important trigger in the buoyant Indian economy - it grew at over 9% in the six months to this September. But he said it had been given too much credit for the growth.

``Much of [India`s] early growth [after liberalising the economy in 1991] came from a change in internal government policies - from anti-business to more market friendly policies,`` he said.

``I feel some excess credit was given to external liberalisation rather than internal liberalisation for India`s economic growth.``

Meltdown fears


Professor Stiglitz said that India also gained by its investments in sectors of higher education, which helped the country to reap the benefits of the information technology revolution.

The Indian infotech industry is expected to exceed $36bn in revenues this fiscal year, a growth of nearly 28% over last year. Export earnings contributed to 64% of the revenues. .............................................................

Re: # 31 Both PMs of both countries are part of elites who control masses and are in turn controlled by Western elites. Those who criticized Prof. M.Asadi should study him for his materful commentary rather than first neglect him, then say bad things about his thoughts. He comes like a morning bright sunshiine after clouds then retards start personal attacks on him. If blind can not see Sun is not fault of Sun but is problems od eyesight. Earlier USA elites micromanaged Pakistani govt and now elites have started macromanaging indian govt and later it will faithful dog as pakistan, exploiting masses to please western elites who are exploits western masses. Tata, Mittal, Birla etc are all dogs of Indian elites sent to harrass poor people od world who are now firing white people and exploiting part of elite exploiters.People are mad in all over world who work in steel industry as Mittal is firing people same tata said no job security for english steel hard working as he says wants to rightsize, a new elite word from Vocabulary. That way these westerners are shameless people. Their forefathers ruled raj and all elites of des was slave to them but if they want to Indian bosses then they deserve what they get. I have no sympathy for such slavish people. I have that way respect for Bengala desi people as they said no Tata even when he was saying to invest 5 billion there build steel plant, powerplan and fertiliser plant useing gas on Bay of bengal. Hats off to such people than shameless western people who are happy to work hard and die for indian elite businessmen.
Now M.Qureshi of pakistan PM = MM sing of India, both were not elected, Mr. Singh can not vote in Parlment as he is not elected but defeated candidate for national assembly.
Now he does not need to be told of elite agenda , he is going to destroy all baniyas of India by Walmart company. Surprisingly still he has to follow Mrs Gandhiji and walmart will not come as Mrs Gandhiji has said Singh should think of poor small baniyas ( she is daughter of shopkeeper), so Indian baniyas are saved or calamity would fall on India. Fortunately trader lobby is strong here and PM S.A. will no dare to bring Walmart here.
All people its good time to go to shool and study Prof. M.Asadi , what he wrote profetically and he has not only analysed situation. Up to now philosophers have explained things but he does same and better suggests how to keep your personal integrity and freedom.
Good night every body.

If Manmohan is a American plant, then M.J.Akbar is a Saudi-arabian plant. Atleast it is better to believe in an American plant.

Author,

Thanks for the expose`.

This is why while growth rate in the middle class 30% of the country is 9%, in the dirt-poor rural 70% of the country it is 2.7%. MM Singh is doing his job real well.
